I gave the homeless shelter my letter of resignation this morning. I am vacating my position in two weeks time.

Time to move on.

I did acquire another position at a GLBT legal rights organization here in Boston. I will basically be doing the same thing I am doing here for more money hourly. However, it is a PT position, but I am currently looking for another PT position elsewhere. I am hoping the job will lead to something FT. If not, 2 PT jobs never killed me before...

I enjoy what I do at the shelter, but the environment is a tad bit depressing for me. It's hard for me to separate myself from the hardships of the guests. I also felt that although the shelter does a lot of good, it does seem to enable a lot of people to stay on the street and not help themselves. Also, the lobby has been a haven for drug deals which go unmonitored even after many requests from staff to remedy that.

So, off I go to yet another job. Things sure have changed since my parents' day. They both have had the same jobs their whole lives. Retirement? What's that?

I think this new position will keep me settled until a move is in the works for us. We plan to move to Southern California some day. It could happen very soon, it could happen in a year... We'll see.

Wish me luck.
